This Law Firm Publication by Ford & Harrison LLP addresses Puglia v. Elk Pipeline, Inc., in which the New Jersey Supreme Court held that an individual whose employment was terminated in retaliation for engaging in protected activity regarding wages regulated by a collective bargaining agreement (CBA) can bring a claim under the Conscientious Employee Protection Act (CEPA) in New Jersey state court, rather than only seeking relief from the NLRB. The publication notes that by overriding the NLRB's exclusive jurisdiction, CEPA is likely the most far-reaching whistleblowing statute in the US.
